Yes, I know what the issue was with the Prius. I was just commenting that it was a much more serious problem than we have with the HCH's MPG readout. If the Prius engine shut off just as you were crossing railroad tracks, for example, you could be in real danger. Nobody is going to die from a wrong PMG readout on the HCH. (Unless they are so obssessive about mileage that they commit suicide when they discover the numbers are wrong).
